  • A message to all who view this blog:

    I have been looking at viewing stats for the entries I make, and can see that the graph looks similar to the side elevation of a mountain range. Some topics are way more popular than others, but I am not running a popularity contest here.

    My main aim is appeal to a wide experience/knowledge base. I cannot, therefore, apologise if each or any of the entries do not appeal to you.

    If you have an issue, complaint, or would just like to make a general comment, please feel free to contact me.

    The EU Commission appears to have coerced Microsoft into including a ‘browser ballot’ in the upcoming release of Windows 7E. Why do EU residents get to have all of the fun?

    Time for some fun of my own.. The ballot:

    1. Firefox – the top page hit will always be a link to ‘March of the Penguins’
    2. Maxthon – may include Green Dam software which will prevent viewing ‘March of the Penguins’
    3. Opera - ‘March of the Penguins’ is filtered out as Penguins are not indigenous to Norway
    4. Safari – you can browse whatever you like as long as you have QuickTime and iTunes installed too
    5. Google Chrome – comes as part of a package including Google updater, Google Earth, Google Moon, Google this, Google that
    6. Internet Explorer – the browser which shot Nutscape.. you can view any web page except for the few created by socialist trolls who want you to have the freedom of choice to only be able to view in Firefox

    Votes to be submitted on a postcard to:

    EU Commission, Sauvé nos post-personnes Dept, Bruxelles, Centre d’Universe
